From the episode

Travis HN, whatever you want to call him. He got so lucky last year in terms of how the blocking developed for him...His yards before contact was insane. He would get like these lanes where you could drive a truck through them.
Mentioned at 71:39 – 73:00

STACKED’s take

NeutralUsage

Etienne's 2023 success driven by elite blocking; Tootin performing without same advantage.

Dhanani notes that Travis Etienne benefited from exceptional blocking last year, with insane yards before contact and lanes "where you could drive a truck through them," which enabled his longer touchdown runs. This context is used to explain why Tootin, who lacks similar blocking support, has still performed well and should see increased usage as the coaching staff recognizes his talent independent of blocking quality.
